They seem to be serving other masters. After all, they know we can be counted on to vote for someone other than the Republican asshole who the Republicans assholes choose to run. They are right, we will do so, but what a waste of opportunity to really make a difference here in our own country! They are prepared to throw all of that away so that the MIC can make another pile of money and AIPAC can glory in the destruction (they assume) of Hezbollah's principal ally.

It is beyond sad.
